At Freeminds we believe that nobody really joins a cult. They simply postpone leaving.

Who We Are

FREE MINDS, INC. is a secular, non-profit group concerned with the phenomenon of psychological manipulation or undue influence. Free Minds was formed in Minneapolis in 1974 and was incorporated in Minnesota in 1976. For the past 25 years we have operated entirely on goodwill donations and volunteer effort. We have long-established connections with similar organizations around the world, as well as a stable history as the Midwest contact for cult awareness support and information. Free Minds is one of approximately 15 secular agencies of its kind in the United States.
